We are on a mission to provide access to high-quality meals for everyone
while reducing the cost and time required.

High Quality

We believe the quality of the ingredients combined with their
nutritional value contributes to making a great, tasty meal.
We strive to find ingredients that are sustainably farmed and free
of artificial preservatives.

A well-balanced meal is made up of a diverse set of ingredients that
ensures we're getting the right macro and micronutrients to fuel us
through the day as well as prevents long term ailments.

Accessible

We live busy lives and finding the time to cook fresh meals every day is not
always realistic. Eating out too often is expensive and not always healthy.
For many people, ready-to-eat wholesome meals aren’t easy to find either -
even if they could afford it, it can be hard to find locally.

Our goal is to achieve the quality and price of a home-cooked meal,
while saving you the time and energy of grocery shopping, preparing and cooking.

Our Promise

Nutritious

Our meals are balanced with the right amounts of micro and macro nutrients for a variety of diets.

Simple

We use a set of ingredients we trust and avoid those we can't pronounce.

Flavorful

We make every bite rich in flavor from high quality ingredients, instead of lots of salt and sugar.

Memorable

We help you understand what you are eating, where it came from, and why it's good for you.

Our people

We are a team of multifaceted builders who care deeply
about the problems people face around eating well.
We are backed by world-class investors from Toronto,
New York, and Silicon Valley. Our talented team of software engineers,
hardware engineers, and operators have previously worked at such companies as
Amazon, IBM, and Google.
